General Information

Overview

This unit makes the connection between science and safety to promote evidence-based hazard management and risk control. You will consider major workplace, work-related and occupational hazards and use science theories, such as energy conversion, to explain how hazards occur, behave and lead to harm. Situational complexity, hazard management and health and safety risk control are discussed from both systems thinking and evidence-informed perspectives. Case studies will assist you in developing an appreciation of how fundamental theories of physics, chemistry, physiology, and social sciences can inform the management and control of harm from hazards.
